lol yes, work has been insane, that is for sure. I am still busier than I have ever been, it keeps getting more and more crazy
When I played Quake years ago I lived in Virginia, just outside of DC about 20 miles. I made a career move in 2017 (still in IT) to allow me to work from home 100% (way before covid) so that I could move. I could not stand living where I was living, too crowed, too many nutjobs. That part of VA is really an extension of DC
I spent about 5 years living in Alabama. My wife is from there and so we moved about a 1 hour drive from where her family was (we had a Birmingham address, but were really on the southern edge of the outer limits of Birmingham). I had fun being a redneck. Graduated one kid out of the University of Alabama, but then my younger one wanted to move back to Virginia to go to school (long story she has health issues and can't really live at college) I am now living near the University of VA in Charlottesville (Stownr said he is in Williamsburg now, we are really close) but I am not in the city, living about 15 miles outside where there are not a ton of people, but I have gig internet
I still do not do facecrap or instaturd or twatter any of those social media platforms that want to sell me and my info as a product in exchange for their 'free' service.
and i don't game anymore because the 3d graphics make me dizzy (Why I stopped playing years ago) so I got more into shooting in real life. I have always owned guns and shot, but am taking it to a new level now. I just did an out to 1100 yard shoot today, was 20 targets between 100 and 1100 yards, I only missed one completely. Was a beautiful day here even with the heat. I am planning to go do a 1 mile (1760 yard) shoot next month. Also going to kick up my pistol shooting a notch and go do a few competitions. I did a bowling pin shoot about 3 weeks ago that was serious fun.
I never caught covid either, but my wife had it back in Feb this year, she had omicron and it was nothing. I know tons of people that had it (like my wife's entire family) but no one that died from it. Her 74 and 75 year old aunt and uncle were hospitalized over it, but recovered and were not in the hospital for long (they had the original flavor of covid)
Electric car? guessing NOT a Tesla? and divorced? oh boy, I guess you had too much together time during covid?
We were in Alabama during the worst of covid lockdowns and Alabama didn't care too much, so we were really going and doing things. AL has lots of outdoor activities year round, I think that kept our sanity (we are outdoor people, hiking biking etc etc) we lived closed to a lake and hung out there, swam, etc
Covid restrictions can lick my ball sack, I think we are going to see lots of 'shocking' information come out about covid in the next couple years, some is already coming out in the court ordered released Pfizer docs, but not many in the media are covering any of it (all bad stuff coming out)
